The Neglected Grave of Q Missionary who was Horn at South Canaan, ct.

The Neglected Grave of Q Missionary who was Born at South Canaan, Ct. A resident of South Canaan has re- ceived the following letter and sends it to The News for publication. evidently thinking the News equally as good as a religious paper.
 Rome, Ga, Aug. 30, 1887.
 SIR About thirteen miles from here, near the village of Coosce, and on the public road and R. X D. R. R., Gust built is white marble slab on which is engraved the following:
 "Mrs Esther Butler, wife of Dr Elizur But Ter. was born in South Canaan, Conn.,, Sept. 15, 179S, joined the missionaries among the Cherokee Indians under the A. B. c. F. M., January, 1921, and after nearly eight years of exemplary piety and devotedness to the Missionary work died in the witness of the Christian faith, Nov 21, A. D., 1929, aged 31 years.
 % grave where is thy victory?
 Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1st Cor Xv, 5-57.'"
 The grave is in cultivated cotton field, but there is nothing to prevent cattle from running over 1t when not in cultivation. A rail fence separates it from the public road. There are few other graves near 1t, but the place seems to have been deserted long time ago.
 The Cherokee Indians were removed from this section in 1888 by the government. At the time this lady labored here this was an uncultivated wilderness, being very few whites here. would suggest that you publish this letter in your nearest religious paper, and it may reach the eye of some of the relaties of this devoted christian lady. If can be of service to any of her rela- tives I would be happy to do so.
 Very Respectfully,
 NJ. F. CONAN.

The Bessemer Steel Works at Beth.
 

The Bessemer Steel Works at Beth.
 lehem, Penn.
 These works, which belong to the Bethlehem Iron Co.,, are situated on the Lehigh river, 92 miles from New York. The pig iron used in the manufacture of the steel is made by the same compa- ny, which owns eight blast furnaces in connection with the steel works, from which they turn out about 1000 tons of iron day.
 In the manufacture of steel, the iron is first melted and blown for some time to take out the impurities, and then about 30,0OO pounds are poured into the converter, pear-shaped vessel with an opening two feet in diameter at the small end. The converter is hung on tennions and so can be turned easily. Its capacity is about 10000 pounds. When the charge is put in it is blown for 30 minutes, and the flame issuing from the mouth, which at first was red, is now of dazzling white color, Jike electric light. It then has about ton more of the liquid iron poured in and the hot blast is again turned on for two or three minutes, when the contents are steel, iron no longer. The exact time to pour the steel is determined by an expert, by the color of the flame.
 The liquid steel is poured into moulds, four feet long and fourteen inches square. These steel ingots are allowed to cool to the center and then heated up again, as iby this means the bar is of the same consistency through out. When heated they are passed through several sets of rollers which makes them about seventeen feet long and still square. They are again cut into four foot lengths and heated up to whiteness and passed through twelve more rollers and each one comes out 8 complete rail. thirty odd feet long These are sawed off by steam bug saw to exactly thirty feet. They are ther bent in the shape of rainbow, witt the thicker part, called the head, on the outside of the curve, as when they con tract, in cooling, the thick part con tracts the most and draws the rail into perfectly straight line. The holes fo. the bolts and fish-plates are then drilled and the rails are loaded on the cars 5000 each day, eighteen miles of rail every twenty-four hours.

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Meeting Called to Discuss the Means OF
Supplying This Long.Felt Want.

o~RFAyA"o AAAS AV"9 w "s~V
Butte has long stood in need of a free
public library and reading room. It may
be laid down as an axiom that any city
no matter how small in size or how vel
need of such an institution if it has not
already got one. But in Butte it is pecu'
liarly a necessity. 90 down Main street
any bright day and see the numbers Of
well-dressed, industrious appearing men
lcunging about and spending their time idly
aud you will see one class that would be
benefited by such a place OF resort. Afree
reading Don supplied with papers from
all parts of the world and with a library
from which books could be borrowed
under proper restrictions for their
care would afford a great many
in Butte besides those mentioned
a place where a profitable hour might be
agreeably spent. The incalcuble benefit of
saving a man with idle moments on his
hand every day the necessity of resorting
to a saloon or gambling house in which to
pass his leisure need only be mentioned to
be conceded by every right thinking person,
announcing to the public that a movement
is on foot with this worthy object in view.
Some of the most public spirited citizens
have made arrangements to hold a mass
meeting in the Opera House on next
Wednesday evening, April 18th, at 8
O'Clock sharp, for the purpose OF dis ;ussing
the Importance and propriety of a public
reading room in Butte, and also for the
transaction of such other business
as may come up for considera-
ton. Orton's Band has been engaged, and
will furnish the music on the occasion.
There will also be singing, and the following
distinguished gentlemen have kindly con-
seuted to address the meeting: Hon. Judge
VIM. J. Galbraith. Hon. VIM. f.. Clark,
Colonel c. G. Bradshaw, Hiram Knowles,
and others. A full attendance of all those
in favor of the movement is requested, as
wide and free discussion of the subject is in
vited.

Got His Work In Just the Same.

The other day an elderly man, accom-
panied by two well-dressed young men
visited the Parrot mine and began explain
ing to them the strange things on all sides
strange to those who were never in q mine
before. At one time while he was explain.
ing what was novel to the visitors he was
standing by the top carman criticising the
appliances in use there and making unfav-
orahls comparisons, such as: "Oh, you
haven't got things as well arranged here
as we have in the Leviathan." "Your diff
ferent out-buildings are zoe close to your
hosting works." and more to. the same
effect. The topman stood it as long as he
could but at last let fall the remark: "Oh.
yes. you have things entirely different at
your place l ALI told. I've heard you have
an elegant f1ag-pole that you have the flag
flying at half-mast from every week. That's
an attachment the Parrot has nc use for"
The elderly man glared at Scotty asthough
he could have annii.ilated him on the spot.
but Scotty stood to his post as unconcern-
ed as a clam and softly whistled "The
Flowers That Bloom in the Spring, Ira
la" Then it occurred to the elderly man
that he had no further use for the Parrot
just then, and he became strangely silent
all at once. Somebody said he was a shift
boss at the Leviathan.
